"So don't try to escape, because once you leave this building, you become an intruder. The lighthouse will sound an alarm, and all the members in this city will hunt you down," Gabriel warned me, his voice carrying the weight of absolute certainty.

I looked at the lighthouse visible from the building, remembering how I had seen it light up once before, and the memory filled me with dread. How could it not? The entire city had suddenly been bathed in red light—it was like something out of a nightmare, transforming the peaceful community into something sinister and threatening.

I had heard conversations among my guards outside about someone who had entered the city uninvited. The casual way they discussed the intruder's fate made it clear that such incidents were handled with swift and permanent solutions.

After I showered, I came out of my room and, as had become my habit to pass the time, I sat near the glass wall and watched the people below. The routine had become a str

    Chapter 10I was amazed when I stumbled upon an art gallery that resembled a museum I had seen in pictures, located in the grand warehouse owned by the Alegre family. The building was imposing and elegant, its classical architecture exuding wealth and refinement.People were flowing in and out of the place, and just as Gabriel had said, it seemed impossible for me to get inside. The individuals entering looked wealthy and sophisticated; their clothes, their bearing, even the way they walked suggested they belonged to a world I had never been part of.Gabriel had mentioned that only select individuals could see the inside of the museum. This wasn’t just any public gallery—it was clearly an exclusive establishment that catered to a very specific clientele.I kept peeking at the museum entrance until a guard approached me, his expression professional but suspicious.“Do you have an appointment, miss?” he asked in English, his tone polite yet firm.I stopped, confusion washing over me.

    # Chapter 09"What?"My eyes widened in shock after Gabriel told me that their boss had tried to kill Aron, and because of that incident, Aron never returned home."Then why does your boss still seem concerned about his son? Why do I still need to watch him?" I asked, looking at Gabriel with suspicion and growing unease.I started thinking deeply about the implications. Could it be that they planned to use me to track the boss's son so they could finish him off permanently? The thought sent a chill down my spine—was I being turned into an unwitting accomplice to an assassination?I looked in another direction, my mind reeling. Why were there parents like that? How could they do such things to their own children? The casual way Gabriel had mentioned attempted murder between father and son was deeply disturbing, yet it seemed to be treated as just another family complication in this world."The truth is, once the boss holds a gun, he never fails to pull the trigger. I'm just wondering i

    Chapter 07"Take her."Those were the words I heard before someone opened the compartment, and several men helped me sit up and gently lifted me out of the confined space. My legs were stiff from being cramped in the small area for so long, and I stumbled slightly as they supported my weight.Compared to Truson's men, these people weren't as frightening—probably because they didn't look like bouncers and weren't carrying large, intimidating weapons. More importantly, they didn't drag me roughly or handle me with the casual brutality I had come to expect. Their touch was firm but not cruel, professional rather than sadistic."Sorry, but we need to cover your eyes," said a man who looked Filipino. He indeed covered my eyes with what felt like a soft cloth rather than a rough blindfold.Someone took hold of my arm and guided me forward with surprising gentleness. The first thing I noticed when I emerged from the compartment was that there were many facilities in this place. I could hear

    Chapter 06The car came to a halt in the middle of the road due to heavy traffic. I found myself staring at the people passing by outside the window and at the various lights scattered throughout the surroundings, my eyes drinking in sights I had never been allowed to see before.I couldn't help but feel amazed as I watched the lights and the sheer number of people moving about on this day. The world outside the car window was alive with activity—street vendors calling out their wares, children running between their parents' legs, couples walking hand in hand, elderly people sitting on benches watching the world go by. It was a tapestry of human life that I had only heard about in stories.Suddenly, I remembered my nanny describing the places outside the mansion to me during those precious moments when she would sit by my bedside and paint pictures with her words.When she described the outside world to me, she made it sound like the most beautiful place imaginable—peaceful, where eve

    Chapter 05The cold Italian air bit at Hilda's exposed skin as she stumbled through the unfamiliar streets, her heart still pounding from her narrow escape at the airport. The adrenaline that had carried her through her desperate flight was beginning to fade, replaced by a bone-deep exhaustion and the crushing weight of her situation. She had managed to get far from the airport—the sounds of aircraft and bustling crowds had long since faded into the distance—but the memory of those two brave women who had risked everything to help her haunted every step she took.*What happened to them?* The question gnawed at her conscience like a persistent wound. The blonde woman with the kind blue eyes, the dark-haired woman who had knelt to adjust her shoes with such unexpected tenderness—were they safe? Had they escaped the wrath of Truson's men, or had they paid the price for their compassion? The uncertainty was almost unbearable, adding another layer of guilt to the fear that already consumed
